• David says... So far, I've seen about three or four large firms cutting thousands of jobs each I'm hoping for a good year but the signs are, in the UK at least, that it is going to be a really really tough year.

• Colin says... I reckon it will be tosh just like last year.

VSB thinks... Giving 'surprise' Christmas presents is not necessarily the right thing to do...see below....

You have to guess what people want, most likely get it wrong and visa versa. So, as a result we all end up with things we don't really want. Backed up by stats showing that in the UK alone, 1.6BILLION pounds worth of gifts at Christmas are unwanted! What a waste of raw materials, time, money etc. Presents are fine but I'm not sure they should be 'surprise presents'.

• dewolfe says... Ahh, I think this comes down to how well you know the person! I've been given a couple of bad suprise presents, but this Christmas almost every suprise present I was given (and gave) was spot on!

• David says... I think you have a point there. Surprises are nice BUT.....

Let's face it, we all prefer to get than to give.

Colin decrees... Thank goodness X-Factor has finished

What a load of tosh this series was. So many tears, tantrums and precocious wannabees it made me heave. End this debacle of car crash TV now.

• dewolfe says... Indeed - though happy for the winner. It shows how someone who failed 3 years ago had the determination to keep trying - rather than these 14 year old idiots who cry and whinge saying 'it's their last chance' and 'their life is over' etc etc. People give up too easily on everything these days!

• mat says... its finished ? thank god for that as long as the winner doesnt release a c**p version of a great song as a single

dewolfe thinks... America's love affair with guns is very unnatural!

This was said by Jessica:
''Being a single mum, I can't imagine not having a gun for home protection because that makes me a more confident parent, knowing that if someone intrudes into my home I know exactly what to do and my son knows what I'm going to do. I'm going to shoot to kill."
A more confident parent?? Statistically, more people are killed by their own guns and knifes before they get a chance to defend themselves, not to mention the amount of children killed by the guns their parents own. It's obviously got more to do with their 'right' to bear arms - what fools!
